The Official Pokemon Topic

[-Ryan]

Thank you,Anime. I've been all over that game trying to find Strength so I can get through the mountain.

[The Score in Blue]

Murf. I jumped the gun a bit. They are changing the names...

Tsujara will be Snivy (snake + ivy), Pokabu will be Tepig (tepid + pig, I don't get it either), and Mijumaru will be Oshawott (???? + otter).Also, for the first time ever, the region is being renamed. Isshu will be known as Unova. What idiot decided that, why was there any need to rename the region.

 

Snivy, sounds like a sounds you make when you have a stuffy nose, Tepig, what is that? and Oshawatt?????? Feel sorry for the VAs and anybody that has to put up with seeing that through the whole game. Good thing for name changers in Pokemon Games

 

.Oh btw, I just feel like sharing that I caught Raikou in SS today! 8D I was catching hoppips and ekans to trade to Platinum and it appeared near Azeala town. :D

Congrats! btw, is it normal that when I saw SS, I thought you were implying yourself :P SS aka Ryan!

 

I never had problems with pronouncing them either, with only a few exceptions. I remeber I pronounced Arceus differently than how it is.Looking at Snivy reminded me of Snively from the Sonic SatAM cartoon.Unova isn't that bad of a name. It reminds me of Supernova, because Nova is in the region name. But there really wasn't a need to change the name.Yeah, but a couple of whiny American's would complain about how it's hard to pronouce the names. Rather than listen to the whining, they decided to give them names that aren't so hard to pronounce.

Names weren't meant to be changed. Supernova is?

And I agree with the last statement.

[CAV of Gang Green]

Names weren't meant to be changed. Supernova is?

 

I never said anything like that. I said that Unova reminds me of Supernova, because of the ending.

[Spritzie]

I never said anything like that. I said that Unova reminds me of Supernova, because of the ending.

I was thinking the same thing. Unova is a very cool name. Which Pokemon is Unova?

[Tyler.]

Isn't Oshawa a place in Canada

eh, I can live with the names

[Anime]

I was thinking the same thing. Unova is a very cool name. Which Pokemon is Unova?

 

It isn't. They're changing the region name to Unova.

[CAV of Gang Green]

Unova is the name of the region for Black and White.

 

It isn't a bad name either.

 

EDIT: Ninja'd.

[-Ryan]

I hope the water-type's final stage name is cooler cause I really like what the the final stage looks like on that one.

 

Tepig sounds bad. D:

It sounds like you're saying Thepig.

 

I DO like Snivy though. It fits.

 

Edit: What level does Riolu evolve at? Got mine to level 40 currently.

[The Score in Blue]

SS, try using a Rare Candy to evolve your Riolu but make sure it's during the day. Also, it has to have full happiness - two large hearts.

 

Hey, has anyone seen what the Pokemon B/W trainers look like?

 

 

Starters:

Trainers:

 

 

 

[Anime]

Yeah all that was out ages ago. Not posted on here, it was eaiser to direct people to Serebii.

[-Ryan]

I don't like rare candies. I'd prefer to train him.

 

And really? It has to do with how much he likes his owner?

 

And I like the new trainers. -nodnod-

 

Hey, another question, Weepinbell evolves with a leaf stone, right?

 

And one more thing, I iz proud to say that I have finally transferred over all 49 good pokemon from Platinum to SoulSilver. Now I can restart that game. -nodnod-

[Anime]

Yes, Riolu is a happiness evolution, and must level up in the day time once it has max happiness.

 

Yes, Weepinbell evolves into Victreebel with a Leaf Stone.

[-Ryan]

Thanks, that's gonna help alot. -nodnod- :)

This whole time I was thinking just one more level until they evolved... xD

 

Hm, they don't sell them at the department store... Where do I get a leafstone in SS?

[Anime]

Evo stones haven't been sold in the Department Store since 1st gen. Leaf Stones in HGSS... let me see... There's one on the ground in Virian Forest.... if you go to Bill's house you'll meet his grandfather, who'll request to see various Pokemon, and give you an evo stone once he sees it. One of them is an Oddish, for which he'll give you the Leaf Stone... It's possible to win one if you come in first in the Bug Catching Contest... One of the trainers on Route 34 may give you one if you register them in your Pokegear and they call you.... and you can buy them in the Pokeathlon Dome for 2500 dome points on.. Saturdays, and Thursdays after you get the National Dex.

[-Ryan]

Oh, cool, so can get one tomorrow. :D

Thanks Anime. ^^

[Anime]

You've gotten 2500 points at the Dome? I'm not talking normal currency, they're like the HGSS version of Battle Points at the Battle Frontier.

[-Ryan]

Oh, dang, I think I only have around 10 of those... xD

 

Oh well, I can just migrate a pokemon thats holding one from Leafgreen.

Edit: Nvm, turns out I had 2711. Bought one and finally got Thorn evolved. =D

[The Score in Blue]

Wow. I hate the Battle Point place on D/P. They don't give you enough for the number of battles you go through.

[CAV of Gang Green]

I agree. I gotta struggle to stay alive.

 

I literally had to spam with Surf just to make it to the end.

[jesse_rocket]

I just took a look at the list of new gen Pokemon on Serebii.net, and I have to say, it's seeming more and more like they're getting desperate for ideas. A lot of them are getting more and more generic looking, or more....weird.

I'll still be pre-ordering, though. Never missed a main series game yet! :D

Looking at Oshawott, looks like I'll be continuing my streak of never choosing a water-type starter :/ I think I'll be starting out with a Snivy, even though I don't care for the name.

[Anime]

I always pick fire type, so I'll be getting Tepig regardless of the name... Though if they do something right and make it's final evo Emboar, I can totally live with that. If not, well, there's always nicknames.

[CAV of Gang Green]

I always chose the one I like best. I don't care for elements.

 

In Sapphire, I chose Torchic.

 

In Diamond, I chose Piplup.

 

In White, I'll choose Snivy.

 

No true pattern.

[The Score in Blue]

I go for cuteness...

 

Sapphire - Mudkip, then changed to Torchic

Pearl - Piplup

[CAV of Gang Green]

I usually don't go for cuteness. I go for those with awesome looking evolutions.

[jesse_rocket]

I tend to go for fire type starters, not through any real principle, but just because they tend to be the ones I like the look of. My starters have been...

 

Yellow: Pikachu (the only option in that game)

Silver: Cyndaquil

Crystal: Chicorita

Ruby: Torchic

FireRed: Bulbasaur

Pearl: Chimchar (<3)

SoulSilver: Cyndaquil (again)

 

And I'll choose Snivy in Black/White
